ok. So im learning php now, its a pretty big learning curve.  
but sofar I have learnt how to use variables, mkdir, upload and sessions

Im on sessions atm. but i need to know how to make a new line in php.  
I know ‘/n’ or something like that does it ($newline and \</br\>)

But when ever I add \<br /\> i get a syntax error.

my php code:

```php
<?php 
session_start(); 

echo "Your name is " .$_SESSION['name'];
echo "Your email is ".$_SESSION['email']; 
echo "your favorite number is ".$_SESSION['favno']; 
?>

```

any ideas?
